Two rookies surfing

Like i told you guys earlier on, i was editing some footage from our first surfing session @ the Maasvlakte - Holland. It was a fun, enjoyed the weather and the sea very much. Conditions were not bad at all for two rookies enjoying themselves.. The best replacement for windsurfing when it's not windy if you ask me :)

So here it is, our first surfing movie :) If you got some tips to improve our style (very much needed) then don't hesitate to let me know..

Now for those of you who want the see some real action, check this. Real cool photo's, look likes an awesome spot to me !

Check this link out for sure dudes, real massive wipe out's. Some real crazy stuff! Glad that it wasn't that bad with us...

My first real sponsorship !

2008 will be a great year. I've got for the first time a real sponsorship deal with nobody less than the great sails maker Aerotech ! So what a way to start the new year, isn't it :) You can view my teamriders profile here :)

Unlucky for me i've to deal with examen's first before i can start ripping on the water with my new sails.

My goals for this year is to sails much much much and much more than last year and to blast everybody away with new freestyle tricks ! I'm also gonna focus more on the waves so i hope this year the wind and waves will be better than last year.
I hope that i can amaze everybody this year, but i'm sure with the support i'm getting from Aerotech, and my girlfriend, it will be blasting and more important super fun year !



ACCEPT NO LIMITS

Welcome on FSwP

Let me start with saying ieps to you all !

I hope that you will like what you're gonna read and see on this brand new FSwP - FreeStyle with Progress blog. Perhaps first a little introduction on why and what FSwP is or should be meaning.

The what is fairly simple. It should all be about the greatest sport on this planet, SURFING !!! More specific about my personal experience around this mindblowing sport. You'll see (hopefully) my progression as i train to be a good wind- and dirtsurfer (or windskater, don't really know what's the best description for this kind of surfing). But it's not gonna be all about me. I'm going to try to post about everthing i find, see, experience and so one... probably you're gonna see some stuff from my dearest friends in the surfworld. Gino Joskowski and Tommeke Peeters who are super freestylers ! (or at least, compared with my skills for the moment :))

Now, for the why part... actually i'm inspired by the Maui Surf Report blog. I like his kinda relax style of blogging and sharing. Especially his personal "how-to" videos like the one about mounting points for a camera !!
A second reason is rather a logical one. I like to shoot pictures and film and stuff and it would be a bit of a waste to keep it all for myself or at least that's what i think.

So that would be it, the what and why at least :)

In the coming day's i'm going to try to post some photo's from a while back. I haven't photo's from the present because of the lack of wind !! :(
Because i'm still a student, i haven't much time in the week so al my hope's are on the weekend, but so far i haven't luck.

Ah, and last thing. As you probably noticed, my English is full of mistakes! Be a sport and don't make a big deal of it. I'm trying hard :-)

May the surfspirit be with you.
